if applied to a more inimate looking object i'd definitely see the jade/waxy quality of it, but applied to a humanoid shape it makes him look like he's a big muscly jelly creature and that he'd be slimy to the touch.

and i don't mean that in a bad way at all. i think it's an absolutely fantastic effect and a beautiful display of SSS at work.

Great effect! It's odd the extreme realism of his skin makes his jeans look very unreal , almost flat. Love the idea though, off to have a play with daz myself - I haven't touched 3d for a good few months...
